      At 18:20 the archeological site mistakenly translates Hippodrome as Latin. It is Greek ,HIPPO means horse, so it's literally a horse /chariot racing stadium. Surprised at the archelogists.

      Israel has been a mother of all blunders in foreign policy if there ever was one. For 40 years, we have taken the Israeli view to the middle east which does not serve our interest. We have stood by one Country which has influence over our congress lawmakers, and on our foreign policy. We should serve the interest of America first. What served America in the 40's, 50's and 60's was our soft power approach. With failure to bring peace to Israeli and Palestinians in using some leverage on Israel, and allowing Israel to bring in settlements to the region, we are now known for our biased view, and we are not seen as a fair and honest powerbroker. This has cost us relationships and trade agreements we could have had. China is filling the vacuum of this soft power broker in the area not because they are so good in their foreign policy but because we have failed at it.

      This would be the path I would recommend you take on this trip if you are willing to pay for a couple of taxi rides. From Akko take the train to Binyamina (as Gabriel did) but do not change trains to the Ceasarea train station. The distance from the Binyamina train station to old Ceasarea is the same as from Ceasarea station. Take a relatively short taxi ride from Binyamina station to old Ceasarea, then when you are done, take a taxi back to Binyamina station, not Caesarea station. This is because Binyamina is an inter-city stop and there are more and faster trains to Tel Aviv than from Caesarea station (in which only suburban trains stop). From Binyamina it is only 30 minutes on the train to get to Tel Aviv and there are multiple trains per hour. The taxi ride from Binyamina to Old Ceasarea takes less than 15 minutes. This would have probably saved Gabriel about 3 hours overall. Another option on the way back would be to walk, hitchhike, or to take a short taxi ride from old Ceasarea to the Or Aqiva West interchange on highway 2 from which there are direct busses to Tel Aviv every few minutes without having to take a crazy detour way inland to Petah Tivka. You can use the Moovit app to suggest these routes and it will also tell you when the next bus is coming. Another option on the way back is to go ahead and take the bus from old Caesarea to Caesarea station and from there take a suburban train to Tel Aviv (about 40 minutes ride). Again, the Moovit app will show you these options.

      Gabriel, I so admire your stamina and determination. You never fail to impress even in the worst scenario you do it with such class. Thank you so much for letting us go along on your journeys.😊❤

      lsraei claims to be a democracy, a legitiimate country, let's look at the facts:
      1) Legitimate countries have defined borders, lsraeI does not, it is illegally occupying Palestine, the Shebaa Farms in Lebanon and Golan Heights in Syria in violation of U.N. resolutions and international law.
      2) Democracies have a constitution, lsraeI does not
      3) Apartheid states are not legitimate, lsraeI has been condemned as a racist, apartheid state by Amnesty International, Human Rights watch, J-Street, B'TSelem and Neturei Karta have all condemned lsraeI as an Apartheid state.

      Tel Aviv has a population of 400,000. Why did you write 4 million? The 4 million would be all the Central Region of Israel. That is called Gush Dan. Tel Aviv is a specific city with 400,000 people. It's not that big.
